Atmospheric

Picture it.  Dawn, with a cold wind..  Black "clouds like inky shrouds" spread over the rising sun.  A long gash in the clouds through which a livid orange light shone.  A bird wailing off in the distance. It was so very Halloween.

Except I was sitting in a grocery store parking lot.

Ever since the pandemic started I've been shopping as soon as the stores open and most of the germy people are still at home in their beds.  This is fun from May through July when it's light outside and the dawn chorus is singing the songs of their people.  It's less fun now, although I give nature full marks for the impromptu Halloween card.
